Being effective leader starts with planning, developing skills

CORPUS CHRISTI - Q: Help! I recently was made the manager of production for my office and I don’t know where to begin. For five years, I’ve been in an assistant position. I filled in when the former manager was on vacation, but he always left a detailed list of assignments. Now I have to manage three other people and I’m being held accountable for their productivity. I’m beginning to think I should have turned down the job.
